Yaris, Crosstek, or Aygo? - Toyota Yaris Forums

BLKHILLSGUY · 06-12-2015, 07:34 PM

So I've narrowed my list down to three cars. Of course I know this is a Yaris fan club. Hell I'm a huge fan. Trading in my 13 Avalon next year and have narrowed my search down to three vehicles. The Yaris SE makes THE most sense at this point, specifically because of the reliability. I also like the looks and a low payment. I've also considered the Subaru Crosstek because I kinda dig the looks and the AWD would be great in my area where we get a lot of snow during the winter. I know Subies are good cars, not as good as Toyota. So that's part of my consideration. And the third car I'm sorta waiting on is the Toyota Aygo IF they bring it to the US as a Scion. It's even smaller than the Yaris and cheaper. BUT I don't think the quality is as good as the Yaris. Reliable, but not on the same level. I've also sorta thought about the new Toyota Tacoma. I just don't think I want to have that kind of payment and fuel expenses. I'm trying to downsize my life. Not for financial reasons, it's just the older I get the less material possessions I want to be tied to. What do you guys think?

I own a couple of Yaris and a Crosstrek (fully loaded 2014) at the moment. The crosstrek is great in the snow, but is currently collecting dust until the next time it snows (probably December 2015), as my Yaris is way more fun to drive.

Appreciate the honesty CTScott!! I'd definitely would ONLY drive a manual in any car I choose. That's a must.
